A glance over this list will show how
largely the leading manufacturing concerns
Of the city and vicinity are represented in
the venture, while an inspection OF the
advertising pages Of the handsome journal
issued yesterday reveals the fact that most
of the stockholders are firm believers in
the ability of the paper to do them good in
q business point OF view. Among the
business announcements the reader finds
such establishments as the Joseph Bell
Stove Company, the Laughlin Nail Com
peny, B. Fisher 4 Son, the Reymanu
Brewing Company, Etna Iron and Steel
Company, Spaulding Iron Company, Bel
mont Nail Company, Caldwell & Peterson,
Whitaker Iron Company, Riverside Iron
Works. La Belle Iron Works, Bellaire
Nail Works, Standard Iron Com
pauy, North Wheeling Glass Com
psny, Wheeling Hinge Company, Nail
City Lantern Company, A. J. Sweeney
& Son, Centre Foundry, Geo. Hibberd
& Son. Trimble & Lutz, and large num-
Der of Others. These firms and corpora
tons are evidently firm believers in the abil-
ity of the Ohio TGiIey Manufacturer to make
known, not only the large variety and in
trinsic merit of the manufactures of
Wheeling and vicinity, but as well to
call the attention OF the public at large
to Wheeling as an industrial centre, there
by turning the tide OF trade In this diTec-
ton, and aiding in the building up Of our
community.
But this is not quite all the projectors
and managers of the new journal hope to
accomplish. II is hoped to present the
resources and facilities Of this section in
a light whiOR will command the attention
Of investors, and those producers who are
seeking more eligible situations fOr their
plants, and this idea cannot better be eX-
pressed than in the annexed extracts from
the prospectus and accompanying editorial
in yesterdays issue Of the journal under
review:
"Tbe manufacturing resources and sdvsntsEes
OF the Upper Ohio Valley, are not surpassed by
